--- Comment #2 from Richard Guk <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for the pointer, but this bug is a technical error caused by an internal
inconsistency, different from the terminology issue in bug 43935.

Note also that http://en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt disallows *all* subpages of
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/

So all 3 URLs above should certainly show the *same* search status.

Since the info parameter is intended to provide information about the canonical
page identified by the request (not about the URL through which the information
happens to be requested), the search status should always be that of the the
canonical page.

So, as previously stated, all 3 examples in comment #0 ought to display:
-> Search engine status: "Indexable"

Note that the info results are unaffected by whether the entry point is
"/w/index.php" or "/wiki/PAGENAME", as demonstrated in these further examples:

Ex 4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumptonshire?action=info
-> Search engine status: "Indexable" (as expected)

Ex 5: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?curid=11652196&action=info
-> Search engine status: "Not indexable" (unexpected)

Ex 6: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumptonshire?curid=11652196&action=info
-> Search engine status: "Not indexable" (unexpected)
